About ASCRS Foundation
The ASCRS Foundation provides humanitarian eye care in Ethiopia; funds first-step ophthalmic research; and educates the public about ophthalmology
The foundation is starting a new glaucoma initiative at its Robert Sinskey Eye Institute, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2011. Diagnostic equipment and donations to buy medicine and supplies are needed to augment the existing cataract and general eye care treatment already provided at the Eye Institute.
In China, the foundation is partnering with Project Vision to train a new generation of cataract surgeons to serve the rural Chinese population that has historically poor access to skilled cataract surgeons. About 7 million rural Chinese remain on cataract surgery waiting lists.
Here at home: the foundation funds important first-step ophthalmic research studies; and it educates the public and press about the benefits of modern ophthalmology through its www.eyesurgeryeducation.org website.
